Gráda - Off To Sardinia (2001)

The band name was a bit of an improvisation. The name was chosen simply because something was needed to slap onto a recording cranked out in five days to support a gig that was supposed to happen at a resort in Sardinia. They sold about 500 copies of a cassette titled "Off to Sardinia" in pubs around Dublin. The Italy show got cancelled, the recording got good reviews, they were encouraged to continue performing, and before you could say "davvero" they were Gráda.
